{tinza's tiny good things #5}

This week has had its ups and downs. Yesterday I was feeling quite low but a quick lunch break on google hangouts with my bookclub cheered me up.

Today, I got my regular Friday milk delivery and it made me stop & appreciate that despite COVID-19, some things haven't changed (yet!). So today's #tinygoodthings is just to appreciate the tiny normal things that you've taken for granted in the past. 
For me, it's milk on the doorstep from the local farm.
Have a happy weekend! (& stay at home!)

{Blenheim Palace Garden Party}

Is there anything so glorious as a sunny English summer? Combine that with an old fashioned garden party at Blenheim Palace with fabulous company & you've got the recipe for a perfect evening (and weekend in the end).
Last Saturday I had the Great British Garden Party at Blenheim Palace booked but realised it was going to be a really long journey home late at night, so I decided to treat myself to an overnight stay in an old coaching inn, in Woodstock, which was the best decision.
 I spent Saturday afternoon perusing the lovely shops and enjoying a pint in a beer garden, before walking the 4 minutes to Blenheim's gates!

{charming Cotswold village!}

& then the gloriousness that is Blenheim Palace:

The interiors are just as striking, with this lovely library (although I couldn't imagine actually living in a place like this (birthplace of Winston Churchill)) :

{stunning ceiling!}

& then back out to the grounds to enjoy all the entertainment, from live music to cricket matches to croquet to Pimms to fabulous gardens!

{all dressed up with somewhere to go!}

{cheers!}

& then it finished with fireworks playing to all the Proms favourites, including Jerusalem!

{sound on!}

Now that things are starting to slow down with teaching, I'm hoping I'll have some more time to catch up on blogging, life, and other things!
